in the continued adventures of getting feedburner to work…
and it does. the feed used to fluctuate between not working and working. it used to conk off every time i blogged. Finally, i discovered a blank line at the end of the xmlrpc.php file. took it out. saved. and feedburner came back to life.

It is either a problem with the feedvalidator or feedburner. the feed opens up perfectly in all browsers Explorer, Opera, Flock and Firefox
the problem not at my end …have disabled and reinstalled every plug -in one by one. have ploughed through jargon, used every checking mechanism. have written off to the hosting service, but i seriously think that the problem is at the other end…
The reason for posting a photo is to ensure that all aspects of the feed are being carried.

patti is in town. We get Sun TV soaps back to back from 7.30 to 10.30 … it’s fun to try and fix a feed with that in the background

a) Upgraded to WordPress 2.7
b) still having issues with feedburner
have reverted to my original feed
c) interesting interface – looks intuitive. they have changed the navigation around completely. reminds of that terribly politically incorrect joke about Hellen Keller’s mother and the furniture !

Both Windows Live Writer & Windows Live Photogallery work for me….. very intuitive in terms of images, links and formatting.
even videos are easy to insert….
Unlike Flickr’s own uploader which has been giving me severe issues over the last couple of months, this one seems to be relatively hassle free … but its tag system is from hell…

after a fairly long hiatus, I thought that I would try out a Microsoft web product for a change…
windows live writer and Windows Live Photo Gallery are both being tested.
Why ? coz i have been having issues with the new WP editor, and for some weird reason Flickr uploader has been acting funny !
are upload and download speeds, to and from flickr, slower than ever, or am I imagining it ?

Last Week
The last 10 days have been a fair tech disaster for me….. the site was down from the 2nd till the 9th because my previous hosting service got attacked by something while moving servers. The fact that they hadn’t informed me ( i am not sure of their other customers) about the move, and possible downtime – was exacerbated by complete and utter ineptitude while dealing with the crisis. I dealt with 7 different people over the 7 day period – each of whom was vaguer than the previous one….. And each of them responded, because of a mail from me … not because, they as service providers wanted to keep a customer in the loop…..This is a classic case study on customer mismanagement. I can understand and empathise with technical problems, I can’t with customer mismanagement. It is forgetting basics in business…
Finally when they restored the site…. there wasn’t even a message saying service restored. Therefore, I did what any paying customer would do ….. changed the service provider. When the site finally came back up… i changed nameservers, moved host……..and was out before you could say blog……
Now
Moved to a web hosting service provider called hostican.com. 200 GB space, 2000 GB bandwidth and great customer support (the last two days have been blissful in terms of restoring my site) — all for around Rs.2000 per annum. Hope that I don’t have to move for the next few years.
Am going to be doing up my new home over the next couple of days…..

My earlier hosting service, the excellent Weblleyou is in the process of winding down their service.
And there i was, happily settled into my home – and had to move all over again. Given that in my childhood i moved 8 homes by the time I was in the 10th – i have this great aversion to moving – whether it is in the real world or the virtual one. Thankfully, the people who have taken over my hosting, The Host Group , provide an equally good service, and moving was relatively stress free. I may have gritted my teeth a couple of times over the weekend when the site was in limbo land between name servers — but then i am not really known for my patience.
